Happy Opening Day!
The 2012 Major League Baseball season begins right now, for reals!
Really, it does. When the Mets take the field for a spring training contest this afternoon, two teams will have already finished Opening Day. As you read this, the Oakland Athletics are facing the Seattle Mariners in Tokyo, Japan, in a game that counts toward both teams’ 162-game regular-season schedule. Seriously.
If you don’t believe me, go to MLB.com and watch the game yourself.
Happy Opening Day!
